TOOL ASSEMBLY:

We have now come to the stage in the manufacturing of the tool where the alignment between the core and cavity with respect to each other is done. The housing that mounts the cavity and the core is perfectly milled to the dimension of the inserts it houses, the housing in turn perfectly placed by maintaining similar pitches from the guiding elements thus aligning the two halves.

Equipment for assembly will include heavy handling devices such as cranes, trolleys etc. each part should be checked for fit with each meeting part that is course in cavities, guide pillar in bush, ejector pins in ejector holes, mechanical action of the tool that is opening and closing of the two halves, ejector assembly etc.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE:

The various stages involved in the assembly of the tool are as follows:

• Finishing the impression
• Aligning the core and cavity
• Bedding down
• Fitting the ejector system
• Assemble the moving half
• Assemble the fixed half
• Water pooling circuit
• Polishing, hardening and tryout
